Villa Haven

Amazing property! Absolutely beautiful home. The views are incredible. We could have just stayed at the property the entire visit. Watching monkeys from the deck, off our bedroom, was an added bonus. The staff was amazing- loved Anna (and her breakfast!) and Federick took very good care of us. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

We had an amazing time at Villa Haven. The pictures do not disappoint, however, it is even better in person. We felt like we were on the set of a movie. Romi, our concierge, took care of the many questions I had as we planned a wedding accompanied by our adult children. She is very friendly and professional. The villa sits on top of a hill overlooking the Pacific from the patio and infinity pool. A colorful assortment of birds used the pool to get a sip of water as they flew by which was fun to watch. We saw a few monkeys hanging out in the nearby trees. The drive up the hill would be a challenge for the inexperienced as the road is partially dirt until other construction is complete. However, we took full advantage of the free shuttle service offered daily. Wilfredo (“Wil”) took us to dinner in town and picked us up to go home. He also drove us to and from a catamaran excursion. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him. Extremely friendly and engaging with our group. Anna prepared delicious breakfasts for us, and it was a little different each day. She was also very friendly and we got to know her during our stay. She also helped us practice our Spanish. The house is big enough that the eight of us could have time to ourselves but the open living area and outdoor space also encouraged hanging out together, which is just what we wanted as we blend families. Even the gym had everything needed to get a good workout if you choose to do so. Also, the grounds and pool were immaculate as the crew made sure of it with daily upkeep. We will always remember our time here. The Pura Vida spirit shone through everywhere we went and everyone we met. Thank you for making this dream vacation come true!

The house was great. Getting to it, not so much. Very rough road up the hill to the house and not on any of the maps so uber and other drivers could never find us to pick us up and we had to walk several blocks to a location where they could find us which caused delays. Once at the house, I can’t say enough good things about it

The house and all of the staff was amazing. The house mom was wonderful, kind, caring and non intrusive. The daily breakfast provided by the house mom was the icing on the cake!
The house had a stunning hilltop location close to everything but the road to it is rough so get a 4 wheel car not a golf cart.
Magnant!

My family and I had a wonderful time at Villa Haven the property is beautiful, the service was impeccable and it provided a private area for us relax and enjoy each others company. The Housemom made delicious food everyday day and made our stay extra special. We loved having a drink and watching the sunset from the patio every night. Swimming in the pool while enjoying prestine ocean views was unreal! We can’t wait to come back!

Villa Haven is over the top in views and luxury! From the awesome views to the pool to the cool plunge to the exercise facilities. This place is top shelf! Anna, the house mom, is fabulous and makes sure you are comfortable, as well as serves the BEST guacamole and salsa! You will fall in love with this

Beautiful home! Spacious! Pool was amazing. Our house mom was so wonderful and so enjoyed our breakfast outside each morning with the gorgeous views and weather.
Only complaint was the bugs, one night 1000’s of ants were coming into a bedroom. Used up all the bug spray they had.

Anonymous from Ray - Posted: 3/5/2025

Thank you for leaving us your honest review Jenna. We're very sorry about that night that got disturbed by the ants and were happy to hear that did not happen any other night the rest of your week stay and that the bug spray helped. Bugs easily get attracted by the lights, and thanks to your feedback we've made sure the recommended fumigation routine to avoid critters has been working ever since. Thank you for mentioning the housemom and breakfast experience as well. We hope you decide to return soon and stay with us again. Saludos from Five Star Tamarindo

This is the most fantastic vacation home! It's so incredibly beautiful and comfortable. The views of Tamarindo Bay and the jungle are absolutely out of this world! Such an incredible place to watch the sunsets and listen to the monkeys.
The home itself is absolutely gorgeous and the pool/deck/outdoor kitchen areas are to die for. There is plenty of space to gather together, and also spots to spend some downtime alone or as a couple.
The proximity to Tamarindo is great, to enjoy all that the town has to offer and then be back at Villa Haven in a few minutes to catch the sunset.
